Is Jesus God? Was the incarnation the greatest story ever told? Why? Was it not because God so loved the world He gave his only son to mankind to dwell among us, save us redeem us? Did not the person Jesus Christ, the divine person Jesus have the nature of God and the nature of man? Was the person Jesus Christ born of Woman? Was not Mary his mother? Was she the mother of the human nature of Jesus or was she the mother of the person Jesus? When your mother gave birth to you did you have a soul? Did she create your soul, your mother? But non the less even though your soul was created in eternity your mother non the less gave birth to you body and soul? She was the your mother?

The notion of Mary as mother of God simply confirms the Churches understanding that Jesus was both God and man not just man who did powerful holy things. No Arius was wrong. The person Mary gave birth to was both God and man. Thus Jesus born of the woman Mary was truly God and thus God’s greatest gift to man and One sufficient to redeem man. Mary was His mother in the flesh and The Holy Spirit- the Sanctifier and giver of life conceived Jesus in her womb. Mary was the mother of the person Jesus who was both God and man. The birth of the Son of God Who was one with the Father before all ages, the birth of Jesus to the woman Mary is the greatest mystery, gift, and story in the entire history of Heaven and earth.

Renaming Mary does nothing to correct erroneous teaching about Jesus.

It only leads to further confusion and error.

The phrase/ title “Mother of God” appears nowhere in Scripture. The Holy Spirit saw fit to inspire the writers of the NT Scripture to identify her as “mother of Jesus”.
